Mr. G(oldfein), our student teacher, returned this past week having done a quarter of observing and teaching in Mrs. Burns's class during the last quarter. He will be staying with us until the end of the school year. He will be doing 2-3 lessons each week in different subjects and eventually, he will have to teach the class for two weeks by himself. I will be assisting him with the lesson preparation and delivery as well as evaluating him while he's teaching. Finally, he will be distributing Release Forms this coming Monday because he and the students (with signed consent forms) will be taped for his credential program some time later this quarter.
